What is this?

Drinking = good. Fat = bad.

Get Drunk Not Fat is a site that lists and ranks alcohol based on amount of included alcohol % versus calorie content. We have worked directly with beer, wine and liquor manufacturers to bring you the most accurate calorie and carbohydrate information.

Look, we all know that drinking heavily is bad for you but since that hasn’t stopped anyone from doing it, at least you can be aware of the ramifications of doing so. (Also, if you’re trying to get your date smashed off that new 55 calorie beer, you better grab a 20 pack.)

We are not doctors and are not recommending that any type of drinking is healthy or a part of a balanced diet. We also realize that the list is not complete. (Hey, we’re humans, not encyclopedias.) If you have information that you think we should have, please send it to us using the “Submit Alcohol” form.

Do you have something else to say? Do you want to pay lots of money for our service and/or advertise on this site? Please use the “Contact Us” form and get in touch with the staff. (We’re also open to accepting/trying free samples!)

FAQ

Question: How is the Calories from Alcohol determined? What is Calorie to Alcohol Ratio?Answer: Calories from Alcohol is derived by taking a beverage’s Alcohol by Volume (ABV%) multiplied by the ratio of calories in pure ethanol vs. calories in that beverage.
For instance a 12 oz Budweiser contains 145 calories and contains 5.0% alcohol. If you multiply 0.05 x 1905.733 (calorie in 12oz pure ethanol) / 145 (calories in Budweiser) = 65.71%. The remaining 34.29% of calories are from carbs and protein in the beer.
Let’s look at another example of Bacardi 151. ABV is 75.5% and calories per 1.5oz is 183 calories. Pure ethanol is 238.21 calories per 1.5oz.
0.755 (ABV) x 238.21 (cals pure ethanol) / 183 (cals Bacardi 151) = 98.28% calories from alcohol.

Question: Your calorie information does not match what I find on some popular websites that list calorie information. Why is that?Answer: Mostly because these sites are inaccurate! Whenever possible GDNF contacts the manufacturer directly to get the calorie and ABV information to ensure accuracy. If you have any questions on the accuracy of our data please use the “Contact Us” form and we will respond as soon as we can.

Best site I have found. You’re honest. I’ve been drinking Mad Dog and buying five liter boxes of wine. It takes a lot of that stuff and I still don’t really get a buzz. It’s very expensive but the main thing is I’m starting to look like a fat hog! I have to change my drinking habits. I hate being fat. I don’t eat that much but have been drinking gallons of wine. I wind up drinking the same amount of alcohol as if I bought rum but it gets spread out over the day which is why I never really get off. Thanks for your investigation into this matter.

I thought more calories meant more fat. Where have I gone wrong? You are saying more calories is better…. or have I misunderstood again. hic!

More calories FROM ALCOHOL means less calories from the non-alcoholic ingredients (such as the malt in beer). Therefore more of the calories you consume are going toward getting you drunk. If you have less calories from alcohol, then you are getting more calories from the additives. Therefore, you are getting drunk by consuming unnecessary non-alcoholic calories.

Calories are just units of energy that your body has stored. Most people need between a 2500-4000 calorie diet, depending on how your body is and what kind of work you do. American soldiers in WW2, for instance, had a ~4000 calorie diet, because they were fed incredibly well.
